A Historic Treasure Hunt.

Bruges is perceived as being one of the most beautiful cities in the world next to Venice and I agree. Located in Belgium, it’s a city to walk and see the monuments, the intertwined facades of old enchanting buildings and all else. As an example, The Belfry of Bruges at the cities’ centre is quite the structure; it was a place where people stored documents describing what their rights are and for this reason it is also symbolic. Radiating out from this monument, you can encounter four leftover or preserved bridges emerging along Bruges' many old brick laden paths (see the Treasure Map).

Supposedly the city’s inspiring characteristics emerged during the Middle Ages as a result of being an important place for trading goods. Also I learned from one internet source that ships mainly arrive at SeaBruges. This means the city is not accessible to bigger ships and in this way the quietness and antiquity of the city is retained in our present day. Bruges is quite apparently one of the places on this earth I would wish and wouldn’t hesitate to visit. I am not aiming to proclaim my biases, likewise my purpose is not to advertise, I wish to continue writing about how there is museum called Historium.

This museum does not appear to be like another boring museum. It is more like a story line in that every time you attend, you can view a different short movie about the history of the country. They are all well made, one is offered through three-dimensional virtual reality and they all manage to give you a good look on how life was back in the day. What makes it even greater is how there are many showcased locations and buildings within the history that is shown, that you may still visit today; including the fact that some of their interiors are often still intact. My findings, amongst many other particularities that only residents would know, are what make the city of Bruges so special.
